" For this group, any movement away from the grossly patriotic is a falling. They would save american culture by removing from it any thought that isn't utterly conformist with the opinion of the public at large"

1. New to me. That is awful.

I do not like Lieberman, but this is ridiculous.

2. This issues has been already discussed here at length

Dolstein has addressed the issue. But you all think Lieberman is Satan so, when it comes to him, the truth matters little.

And here is what Lieberman wrote when he found out about it:

"From Lieberman to Jerry Martin, President, American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA), Dec. 18: I am writing in regard to the Council's recent "Defending civilization" report.

In the past, the Council has sent me advanced copies of its publications before they have been released and asked for my support. In this case, though, I was never given the opportunity to review the report before it was made public. I first learned of it through a call to my office from a reporter in Connecticut about a controversy the report had stirred at Wesleyan University.

If I had been given an advanced copy, I would have objected to its content and methodology and asked you either to revise it or make clear that I had no involvement with it. But because that did not happen, and because I have been incorrectly listed on your Web site as a co-founder of the Council, a number of news accounts and commentaries have associated me with the report and incorrectly asserted or implied that I endorse it.

This letter is meant to set the record straight about my disapproval of this report, which I consider unfair and inconsistent for an organization devoted to promoting academic freedom. To avoid any future confusion, I would ask you to remove any reference to me as a "co-founder" of ACTA from your Web site or other Council documents. And I would ask that you note in any future public statements that I do not support this specific report. "

Another link:

"Neal's report was taken to task in the press, the subject of critical articles in the New York Times, The Boston Globe and a number of other major outlets. Its heavy-hitting political allies are holding "Defending Civilization" well at arms length. Cheney herself denied having read the report in the New York Times, and Senator Joe Lieberman has issued a letter expressing his disagreement with the report. He is listed as a founder of the ACTA on their Web site, but his spokesman says, "That's a mischaracterization." "

5. Oh Boy, LOOK at the Am Council's pdf report...... a who's who of

subversive college professors and intellectuals. (sarcasm!). Quotes like: "A lot of people prefer peace to bloodshed." THIS is according to the Council is counterproductive in this age of terra.......

There's a little SCARY quote by Lynne Cheney on page 1 of the Oct report.

Interestingly, they REVISED the report somehow in Nov 2001. And there is a specific statement that NO PUBLIC OFFICIAL "including L. Cheney and Lieberman" who have endorsed the report or were asked to endorse the report.

Why do I think that the revised version was changed just to ADD that. Lieberman probably doesn't mind too awfully much if speech and intellectual integrity is trounced in our universities, but with his future bid for the presidency, it might be foolish to put his John Hancock on it. Ooooooo, blasphemy for me to use the names John Hancock and Lieberman in the same paragraph!

Oh......Gonzalez' report doesn't even TOUCH the gist of what the report is about. .......

6. This issue has been debate before

Lieberman had nothing do with the report, and per reply #3, asked that his name not be mentioned.

But the facts matter little to the people here who think Lieberman is Satan.

7. telling stories we like about Lieberman

is just as wrong as doing so about Dean. Lieberman clearly removed himself from that report as forcibly as humanly possible. This is a matter of public record. They altered the report due to Lieberman saying that he wasn't asked before his name was put on.

8. Don't you know? Lieberman is the Devil no matter what

He is Satan--and no matter how much the facts get in the way he is an evil human being who preferes Israrel to America and is a Republican even though the GOP would never take him in.
